Prof. Baird is essentially a worker.
When one has written Of his work
nothing remains to be told. His
habits are simple. He retires at IL
o'clock and arises at an early hour.
He never goes to a lecture or the
theater, and the dinners and recep-
tons he attends during a season can
be counted ON the fingers on one
hand. He gives it out in confidence
that the first reason that he doesn't
go out is that he knows he will 20 to
sleep, and the second is that he
doesn't want to, but prefers staying
at home with his books. What does
he do with his leisure timer Well,
he has precious little of that delight
full commodity, and what little he
has is spentin reading novels (strange
to relate) of the blood and thunder
order.

might have been a gentleman, but
who at this ball was a fantastic, ugly
harlequin with huge stomach and
ruffled trousers. A young woman
passed this respectable couple and
attracted the attention OF all behold
ers by her indecent, easy move ments
and her unconventional attire. Her
dress bore somewhat the same
relation to her that the
skirts Of the ballet do to
the dancer, but they were consider
ably longer. Her hose were of bright
pink and she wore such high heels
that she tipped and tilted as she
walked. Her shoulders were Gov
cred and only modest bit OF neck
as big as your hand peeped out at the
gaslight. She held daintily to the
arm of a gay club man. No one
looked harder at her than did the
companion OF the harlequin. She
scowled haughtily at the first glimpse
OF her, recognizing the airy gait that
distinguishes the halt world woman;
then she took in at a comprehensive
glance at the cut OF the skirts, and if
she was half honest she admitted
that the work had been well done;
this she followed by a critical exam
ination of the hose and shoes, aud |
must say she seemed as much inter
ested in the yeung woman's extremi-
ties as the men who were in sight;
then she shrugged her shoulders yio-
lently and shuddered at finding her
self so near the impure. Served her
right | thought. What was she
there for? She knew just what kind
Of people would be present, and if
she did not want to meet them she
should have stayed away or gone
home as soon as she felt shocked, as
| did. But my shock came from a
inspection of the wine
room, where drunkenness prevailed
to horritying degree. in both sexes.

Vice President Samuel Spencer says,
speaking Of the late b. IL o. deal, that
"The financial arrangements which are be-
ing negotiated do not contemplate the sub
ordination of the Baltimore and Ohio or the
sacrifice OF its Independence. Nothing of
that kind has been considered The CAPT
talists who have made IA loan to the com
pany have stipulated such terms as are rea
sonable to afford them satisfactory security
There is no provision for the sale of the
telegraph, the parlor-ca franchise or any
other property. These matters are lett with
the directors, who may or may not dispose
OF tncnl The road will not cease 10 be an
independent trunk line, and whatever rep
resentatian the syndicate of bankers may
have in the board of directors will come
through arrangements with the stockhold-
ers Mr.. Garrett is the president of the
company, and there is no one in the coun.
try who is authorized to say anything bear
ing upon his probable retirement. The
statements, therefore, in which any name is
coupled with Others in discussing the future
presidency, while complimentary TO the
men suggested, are out OF place. The Bal
timore and Ohio has not been disturbing
factor among the trunk lines, but, on the
contrary, where rate cutting occurred, it was
the last 10 follow in that direction" Vice
President Spencer called on Mayor Hodges
at the City Hall, and gave a satisfactory
presentation Of the facts as To the citys in
lere.t in the Baltimore and Ohio.

steadily refused TO grant Upon the whole,
then, the new status Of the b. &c o. is not
necessarily inferior 10 the old in point of

NEW LIGHT,

The gradual drift OF opinion among the
men of letters of the present day is toward
a general unbelief as To the authorship of
standards in poetry and prose which have
come down 10 us in their magnificence from
great minds long since gone from earth.
The latest exposition of nfidelity reaches
out in an elaborate theory TO prove that
wonderful William Shakespeare was not
the author of the numerous dramas at
tributed to him. BY a studous, and it must
be admitted very deeply laid train Of rea-
soning, the theory is educed that TO the
brilliant Bacon must be credited the gems
of English literature which have so long
been credited TO Shakespeare. The keen
witted American who has studied the prob
lem in the best years of his life has eluc
dated mass of facts which go far to sus
tain his theory that the worlds encomiums
which have fallen on the Bard of Avon ha We
been unworthily bestowed.
To those who delight in the pursuit of
knowledge under difficulties, no more en-
trancing entertainment could be imagined
than tour Of comparison through the works
of the alleged Shakespeare and the Baconian
essays in search Of proof that Bacon is the
true author of the Shakespearian produc-
tons. The means by which Ignatius Don
nelly arrived at his conclusion that Bacon
wrote the werld renowned dramas form a
subject which will prove interesting to those
engaged in literary pursuits whether they
see fit to adopt the same views or not.
The moral which modern writers should
take to heart is that if they wish their pro
ductions to attain eternal fame their only
method is TO inscribe them on monument
more durable than brass. The jovial old
Roman poet, Horace, did that, and nobody
has arisen 20 question the authenticity o.
his works as yet
